AVRUPA SİYASETİNDE AŞIRI SAĞIN YÜKSELİŞİNİN FARKLI GÖSTERGELERİ: ALMANYA VE AVUSTURYA ÖRNEKLERİ

Abstract

21.yy’da Avrupa’da aşırı sağın yükselişi farklı alanlarda kendini göstermektedir, bu süreç, Avrupa’da barışın ve istikrarın korunmasını zorlayan en önemli unsurlardandır. İlk olarak, yerel seçimlerde, pek çok ulusal seçimde ve Avrupa Parlamentosu seçimlerinde aşırı sağ partilerin yükselen oy oranları, ikinci olarak aşırı sağ örgütlerin sayısının ve aşırı sağ şiddet olaylarının artışı olarak kendini göstermekte, üçüncü olarak da Avrupa siyasetinde aşırı sağ söylem giderek normalleşmektedir. Bu makalede, Almanya ve Avusturya’da aşırı sağın yükselişinin farklı göstergeleri, bunların nedenleri üzerinde durulacak ve bu ülkelerde aşırı sağın yükselişinin ve özellikle Avusturya Özgürlük Partisi (FPÖ) ve Almanya’daki Ulusal Demokratik Parti (NPD), parti programları, söylemleri ve seçimlerdeki başarıları açısından karşılaştırılacaktır.
